One camera, one lens - 35mm, great interview here

Just found this page of this French photographer who photographs his kids with just a 35mm lens.  I find his work very interesting.  It's in French, but with subtitles.  Worth the watch  www.lensculture.com/articles/alain-laboi...erview-alain-laboile

Fun shots, but his exact same style would work with a zoom lens.  I fail to see how this sells the "one lens - 35mm" idea.  Maybe he has never tried a zoom lens?

Very nice work!  But the "One camera, one lens - 35mm" thing means nothing to me.  It's really irrelevant.  The more important idea to take from this, I think, is in his final words ... "What matters is shooting what you feel like shooting, concentrate on that, and the equipment comes second."

No I do agree with the previous statements about the one lens and camera.  Moving forward, I like this style, he has captured the spontaneous  personality of his kids in a special way.

Well, I don't see why stick with one lens.  But I did get some ideas from this interview.  Thanks for sharing.
